Look no further than the viral clip of him celebrating the Eagles’ 2018 championship- even if he became LA royalty later in life, Kobe Bryant remained true to Philly the whole way through. The most coveted and most famous allusion to his hometown remains the Nike Kobe 4 “Philly,” last released in 2009. Were you staring down a four digit resale price to get the OGs, we’ve got some welcome news, as the Protro program is bringing a retro release next month.
Though images had surfaced before, JD Sports is providing the closest look yet for the upcoming re-release. The blue, red and white combo works well in tying these to the 76ers, but the true inspiration at play here dates all the way back to 2002, when a young Bryant took home All-Star MVP in the City of Brotherly Love. With that in mind, though the stars on the collar certainly call to mind Iverson-era jerseys, they’re more directly connected to the logo of that high-octane exhibition.
The Nike Kobe 4 Protro “Philly” is slated to drop April 13th in men’s sizing, carrying a $190 retail price. Scroll ahead for a suite of detailed images and direct links for where to pick up your pair.
Very relatedly, the Nike Kobe 4 “Girl Dad” is set to be another hotly contested pair this May.
